Along with this list, I make a playlist so you can listen to all of these bands.

Follow me on Instagram

I also have a playlist with all the bigger bands (mostly touring but some local) coming up in the next month

Make sure to check before you go. Lots of weather cancellations today.

  • Do you have to compile this list manually, or what’s the best way to see upcoming concerts in the area? I mostly just fallow a bunch of venues and spend some time googling, but I wish there was a website that’d compile everything and I could look at a specific date in the future

    I have a spreadsheet I make. I search manually and then add them. I'm thinking of offering the list up but it is a lot of work. Thinking of making a patreon or something if people would be interested. The list would be a perk if people signed up. Maybe a new years project.
